The growth in the Alliance area of Fort Worth has yielded a return on investment in the billions.
The gist
Mike Berry, president at Hillwood, a commercial and real estate development company, provided the yearly AllianceTexas update to the Fort Worth City Council during a work session meeting Feb. 24.
He said the economic impact in 2025 was $12.9 billion, and the estimated regional economic impact since opening 36 years ago is $142.9 billion.
“So from the standpoint of the city and the region, we hope it simply continues to grow,” Berry said.
Total investment in AllianceTexas reached $18.3 billion in 2025, including $16.7 billion from the private sector and $1.6 billion in public investment such as roads, schools, public safety facilities and other infrastructure, according to a news release.
The specific
AllianceTexas, a 27,000-acre master-planned mixed-use development, has 602 companies and supports more than 73,000 jobs, the news release states.
According to the previous reporting, Alliance accounted for 590 companies and 66,000 jobs in October.
“AllianceTexas is a powerful example of sustained growth and continued exponential return on investment for our public partners and the residents of the communities we serve,” Berry said in the release. “The momentum we’re seeing with industry leaders like Wistron, MP Materials, Embraer and even SGS Studios reflects the power of strong collaboration and a shared vision for the future. What we’re building together is just the beginning of a generational opportunity for Texas.”
The conditions
Berry said the construction in AllianceTexas is continuing. He said there is more than 60 million square feet of development. Between four speculative industrial construction projects, an additional 3.2 million square feet will be added in the Fort Worth city limits.
“Hopefully, we will have great announcements on these projects soon,” Berry told City Council.
What else?
AllianceTexas development features corporate headquarters, health care providers, higher education centers, shopping and entertainment destinations, and planned residential neighborhoods, the release states. The area encompasses nine municipalities and five school districts between Tarrant and Denton counties.
Since 1990, $4.6 billion has been paid in property taxes cumulatively to the cities of Denton, Justin, Argyle, Fort Worth, Haslet, Roanoke, Northlake, Westlake and Corral City; and the Denton, Northwest, Keller, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw and Argyle ISDs.
